a Visiting Student

homestay experience for a group of 16 students from Tokyo Christian
University in Japan. Our students would stay approximately seven weeks
from January 4 to February 26, 2001. Please consider becoming a host
to one of our students. This is an excellent opportunity to share American
customs and culture while developing new friendships. Remuneration for
room and board is provided. If you are not able to host a student at
this time, please ask your friends, family and acquaintances, especially
the ones who live near SPU. We really need your help and would appreciate
any efforts in this matter. Please contact Paulina at the A.C.E. office
at (206) 281-2106 if you are interested or have referrals.

Book
Orders Through the Bookstore
As part of our preparations for ordering course books for next quarter,
we will begin returning most unsold books to the publishers after mid-quarter
exams. As your campus bookstore, we recognize there may be certain titles
that will be used later in the quarter. In such instances, we will keep
your course books in stock on our shelves. We ask that you let us know
as soon as possible which title(s) you would like to have held late
into the term. Please convey your request directly to Joseph Picconatto
at (206) 281-2137 or at spu@bkstore.com
or bookstore@spu.edu.
November
3 Deadline for Book Orders
We would like to have as many textbook orders for next quarter as
possible by November 3. To facilitate this process, we have added an
online ordering option at the bookstore Web site. You may access this
form at www.bkstore.com/spu/.
Look for the sections marked "For Faculty" and then proceed to "Textbook
Adoptions." Once your order is submitted, you will receive an e-mail
confirmation within 24 hours. A paper confirmation will be forwarded
to the appropriate departmental administrative assistant. As always,
paper forms of the book request will be available so look for these
in your mailboxes within the next couple of days. On a final note, my
assistant manager Chris and I have earmarked several titles that we
are assuming will be used again next quarter. We will phone or e-mail
instructors using these titles on an individual basis. If you plan to
use a book for Winter Quarter that you are currently using, simply respond
to this e-mail stating (by way of example) "I will use the ACCT 2361
from fall as the ACCT 2361 for winter." We would like to make this process
as easy as possible for you, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks--Joseph Picconatto, your bookstore manager.
